Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he said that swallowing was painful. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it was accompanied by low fever. Please ask: What are the symptoms of tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and because of this, the child will frequently cry due to difficulty swallowing. The child will also have a fever, which can be as high as 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. This should be taken seriously. Along with the high fever, there may be chills, fatigue, and headache. At this time, the tonsils should be inflamed, red, and swollen. In severely ill children, complications may also occur, such as acute glomerulonephritis, acute rheumatic fever, or rheumatic endocarditis. If the child's condition is indeed worsening, it is still recommended that parents not delay and take the child to seek treatment as soon as possible.
